Solve : One installer for multiple application + one start icon?

1.	Solve : One installer for multiple application + one start icon?
Answer» HI All, I very new to windows and this forum and do not even know a bit of what i have to do. My problem is as below: I have to create an installer which will install three things at once: * Application server * Database server * Web browser After the installation is done, there should be an icon which should start the application server, database server and open the installed browser when icon is clicked. How do i achieve this? Can anyone point me to a tutorial link or some example? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- VikramHi. If I were you, I would create a batch file called install.bat. Inside that batch file you could say something like this: start /wait installer1 start /wait installer2 etc... Then you would create an archive in 7-zip that CONTAINS all of the setup PROGRAMS and the install.bat file that you created. In ORDER to do this you need to download and install 7-zip (just use google) Write the install.bat I told you about. 7-zip all the files into one archive.
